It’s been a while! Too long a while, really. Too, too long a while if I’m being really honest but I have an excellent reason for that and it’s in the post title up there. We had a kid! A little girl to be specific, and she’s incredible. But along with all her brilliant, beautiful,…
The story of how Christopher got his literary agent after more than 8 years, 7 manuscripts, and 200 rejections.
Winter is always the season when I read most. When you combine winter with the soul-crushing difficulty of quarantine life, reading becomes even more appealing! I received many terrific books for Christmas/my birthday and while I won’t be writing reviews for all of them, I wanted to take a little time to discuss those that…
How I lost a pig and placed all my hopes on the back of a caterpillar (no really).

If you want to be very specific, the first creative work I specifically remember making of my own accord was a three-page poem about wolves that I wrote in the third grade.

So sorry for the massive delay on this folks! Turns out that starting a high profile technical writing gig, still finishing your newest book, looking for a new house, and then buying a new house is REALLY TIME CONSUMING. Nonetheless, I’ll have a new proper post this week about artistry, grit, and the need for…
First things first: it’s been a while since I’ve posted, and for that, I apologize. I could tell you that “a lot has happened since last post,” which would be true. Through a minor miracle, I started a new contract as a freelance technical writer. And, thanks to a lot of hard work (plus some…
Sometimes, you miss the party on something in pop culture, whether it be a game, book, show, or movie. Years later, you finally get around to experiencing that whatever-it-was, and then you start a new series on your website where you write story-focused reviews for those things.
